This past weekend, we had the incredible opportunity to gather for a powerful self-care event focused on mental health, wellness, and empowerment. A huge thank you to Tangi for partnering with Strive Counseling Services to create a safe space where women could learn, connect, and prioritize their well-being.
Self-care is more than just an occasional treat—it’s a necessary commitment to our mental, emotional, and physical health. Whether it’s setting boundaries, practicing mindfulness, or engaging in activities that bring us joy, taking care of ourselves allows us to show up fully in every aspect of our lives.
To everyone who attended, thank you for making this event so impactful. Let’s continue this journey of self-care and wellness together! Strive Counseling Services, LLC#SelfCareMatters#MentalWellness#StriveForBetter#WomenEmpoweringWomen
Leaning on your community is vital, especially in times of difficulty. Having a strong support network can provide comfort, strength, and guidance when we need it most. When we allow ourselves to rely on others, we can feel seen, heard, and less alone. It creates a sense of belonging that can help us navigate life’s challenges with more resilience. How do you find your community to be supportive in your life? Comment in the chat box! Strive Counseling Services, LLC

Under the leadership of Crystal Mullen-Johnson, Strive Counseling Services, LLC has significantly advanced mental health care in Birmingham, AL, and beyond. In November 2024, they expanded their reach by opening a second location in Demopolis, AL, extending services to more communities.
The organization has enhanced support for adolescents and families, providing services to three local housing authorities. They prioritize diversity and inclusion in all programs and initiatives. Mullen-Johnson’s deep understanding of social work and counseling has guided Strive to set a high standard for mental health care. The practice actively educates the community about the importance of mental health, addressing stigma through various outreach efforts.
Demonstrating a commitment to growth, Strive has hired a full-time office manager and two additional therapists to better serve their clients. Mullen-Johnson has also relaunched her book, “21 Day Journey to Strive for a Healthier You,” contributing to mental health education.

Therapy provides a safe and confidential space to share your thoughts and feelings. Unlike conversations with family and friends, speaking with a licensed therapist offers professional guidance to help you develop effective coping strategies for life’s challenges. As we step into 2024, consider adding therapy to your list of goals for personal growth and well-being.
